Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 12°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 10,463 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 470 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 8 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna CJ4 Citation, then departed from runway 08 at PADQ Kodiak Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,849 feet, which accounted for 29% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 138 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 57°F and winds of 14 knots at 40°. The crosswind was 11 knots, while the headwind was 9 knots. The aircraft climbed from 1,047 feet above sea level to 35,109 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,062 feet, in 15 minutes and covering 82 nautical miles.
The enroute climb started overhead PADQ Kodiak Airport, and the aircraft then transitioned to a level cruise 12 miles southwest of AK07 Dog Fish Bay Airport. This cruise phase lasted 3 minutes and covered 26 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 10 miles northwest of Seldovia, and it descended from 35,194 feet above sea level to 16,687 feet above sea level, a decrease of 18,507 feet, in 11 minutes and covering 76 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase 3 miles northeast of 06AN Niesen Airstrip, which lasted 3 minutes and covered 18 nautical miles. The descent phase started 6 miles east of TYE Tyonek Airport, and the aircraft descended from 16,555 feet above sea level to 2,920 feet above sea level, a decrease of 13,635 feet, in 7 minutes and covering 31 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase 1 mile northwest of AK36 Point Mac Airport, which lasted 2 minutes and covered 5 nautical miles. The descent phase started overhead 50AK Robin's Landing Point Mackenzie, and the aircraft descended from 2,918 feet above sea level to 1,510 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,408 feet, in 3 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 15 at PANC Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport was made from the north, heading 165.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,347 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 84 knots and a touchdown rate of -188 feet per minute. The touchdown distance was 464 feet, which was good. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 11 feet from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 64°F and winds of 5 knots at 199°. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was 4 knots. The total landing distance was 2,896 feet, which accounted for 28% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 251 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 55 minutes. The aircraft used 1,246 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna CJ4 Citation successfully landed at PANC Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport, achieving a score of 94.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 165.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,347 feet above ground level (agl).
The final approach to runway 15 was executed with good results, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 84 kt, which was slightly below the target threshold speed of 88 kt. The touchdown distance of 464 ft was also within acceptable limits, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -188 fpm was good, suggesting that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of landing without excessive deceleration.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 64°F and a wind speed of 5 kt from 199°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 kt, while the headwind component was 4 kt, which helped to reduce the landing distance. The total landing distance of 2,896 ft was 28% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the landing and rollout phases. The only minor issue was that the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 11 ft from the centreline, but this did not appear to have any significant impact on the overall landing performance. Overall, the landing was executed with good precision and control, resulting in a high score of 94.0%.
